For people with small hands I would say stick to the fairway drivers. The valkyrie, as others have noted, is a great distance disc with a relatively small rim.

Dukduk, measure the inside area between your first knuckle, and your second knuckle of your index finger with a CM measuring tape or something measuring in CM. Get the max, and then that will be the widest rim you can grip consistently, and will be generally your farthest disc. Most people are around 1.9-2.0 cm. So any disc that falls into the category of your measured width, will be the disc you'll be able to transfer the most potential energy to, given you have good form. Anything larger and you'll have more potential for slips to cause energy loss during transfer to the disc, and possibly lose, or never gain distance over the disc that fits that measurement you got.
Or GRAB A BOSS!
Here ya go...Look at the Rim Thickness rating.

the Epics narrowest part is barely legal
No effin wonder I got no 'd' I got zero cm because I don't have an effin 2nd knuckle on my left index finger...well hell, nor a first really.
I guess I should be happy when I was getting about 250' with my Gazelles.
Speaking of which....Gazelle.
I've also heard of a lot of people having success with the Archangel. I have a CFR that I haven't quite figured out yet, but it's a nice slower, understable disc that I've seen thrown 400 feet.
CFR Archangels are NOTHING like the dx version. They only made one CFR run of Archangels because they came out overstable and the disc was supposed to be Innova's understable driver.
See, I've never thrown a DX, but I can tell you that my CFR Archangel is not overstable at all...even a little. I'd call it the flippiest disc I own but I probably just haven't thrown it nearly enough to learn it's subtleties...
CFR Archangel is definitely a different animal. I bought one just because it was different.
Archangel is the longest disc I have ever thrown...in a field. Problem is you take it out on course and it turns over like a little ho'
